Patented Dec. 28,- 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GOGGLES Application August 21,

2 Claims.

The present invention relates to goggles or the like and more particularly to an adjustable bridge for the same.

One of the objects of the present invention is 6 to provide a goggle bridge which is simple and inexpensive to manufacture yet'rugged and eihcient in operation. Another object is to provide a goggle bridge which is both adjustable and resilient. A further object is to provide a goggle 10 bridge which is composed of two metal helixes screwed together. These and other objects and advantages reside in certain novel features of construction, arrangement and combination of parts as will hereinafter be more fully set forth 15 and pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the drawing:

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a pair of goggles embodying my invention.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged horizontal section of the 20 goggles'with parts in elevation.

A preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the drawing wherein l indicates, generally, a pair of goggles having the two eye cups ll connected by a bridge member I2.

25 The goggles are held on the head of the wearer by a suitable head band l3. Each eye cup H is provided with a threaded portion M upon which is threaded a rim or bezel l5 having an inward flange l6 for clamping the lens I! in place on the front of the eye cup.

free outer end I9. The two springs l5 are screwed together as shown in Fig. 2 and the distance be tween the eye cups II can be varied by simply screwing the springs IS in one direction or the other. Of course the helixes l8 are not necessarily metallic nor resilient, but a resilient metal spring is preferred. A suitable tube 20, of rubber or the like, snugly engages the helixes I8 and serves both to hold the helixes IS in alignment and to form a comfortable contact for the nose of the wearer.

From the foregoing, it will be apparent that I am able to attain the objects of my invention and provide a simple, rugged and inexpensive goggle bridge which is both adjustable and resilient. Various modifications can, of course, be made without departing from the spirit of my invention or the scope of the appended claims.

I claim:

1. In a pair of goggles, a tube, two helixes screwed together within the tube and engaging the inner wall of said tube, each helix having one end extending out of said tube, and two eye cup secured one on each of said ends.

2. In a pair of goggles, a resilient tube, two metal helixes screwed together within the tube and engaging the inner wall of said tube, one helix having an end extending from one end of the tube, the other helix having one end extending from the other end of the tube, and two eye cups secured one to each of said ends.
